How to Pray for Adoption

Our work at Zoe’s House is squarely rooted in the heart of God for children and families.  We believe He is deeply vested in seeing children in good homes and expectant mothers receiving the best care available.

Additionally, adoption is a true spiritual process.   Here are a few ways you can pray for those involved.

Pray that expectant moms are cared for!

These young women are making the decision of a several lifetimes.  Their actions will chart the course for them and their child as well.  We cannot imagine the pressure they are facing, often in the face of other pressing needs.  Pray that God would bring peace even as He brings provision for them.  Also pray for birth fathers and extended families as they make decisions together to benefit their children.

Pray that adoptive families make themselves ready!

Most people think getting ready for adoption means decorating a room and assembling a crib. That’s all part of it, but before they get there, they’ve filled out reams of paperwork, answered a lot of questions, done a lot of research and had some deep heart to heart conversations.  Pray that the would be encouraged even in the mundane times and that when God’s timing is right, they would be ready.

Pray for healthy babies!

Every life is of immeasurable worth, stamped with the image of God.  Pray these little lives grow strong in the womb, have safe deliveries, and the most amazing, fun childhoods.  Also pray for the day they come to understand what it means to be adopted and for good and healthy relationships with their family of origin.

Pray for Zoe’s House!

We need your prayer support as much as we need financial support.  Both enable us to be there when the phone rings, to listen intently, to offer the best care and to celebrate life.

We’re in this together – please pray!
